Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 9, 1912.

Application filed September 9, 1911. Serial No. 648,433.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NOEL S. COLE, a citi zen of the United States, residing at Newbern, in the county of Dyer and State of Tennessee, have invented new and useful Improvements in Belt-Flights, of which the following is a specification.

reinforcement which will resist the pressure of the material carried by the belt.

In the general construction of flights for conveyer belts either wooden strips or L- shaped metallic members are employed. Neither of these vflights provide reinforcing means for the portion of the flight contacting the material, and as a consequence the said flights are often materially injured so as to require the removal of the flight and the substitution of a new flight.

lVith the above recited objects, and others of a similar nature in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claim.

In the drawings,--Figure 1 is a perspective view of a belt provided with my improved flights. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view taken upon the line 22 of Fig. 1.

In the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 designates a conveyer belt and 2 the flights therefor. These flights are each preferably constructed of a single piece of suitable metal, the same embodying an attaching or horizontal portion 3 which has one of its ends bent at a substantially right angle to provide what may be termed the working face 4: of the flight. The upper portion of the said working face is bent outwardly and at an angle to the said face, to provide a reinforcing back 6, and the lower extremity of the said back is bent inwardly to contact with the juncture of the said horizontal portion and the inner face as designated by the numeral 7 thus effectively reinforcing the working face 4 and providing a non-yieldable flight.

From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the simplicity of the device, as well as the advantages thereof, will, it is thought, be perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art to which such inventions appertaimwithout further detailed description.

Having thus described the invention, what 60 I claim is A flight for conveyer belts comprising a plate adapted to be secured to said belt and having one of its ends bent upwardly to provide a working face and thence bent downwardly at an angle to the working face, and the said angular bent portion having its extremity bent inwardly to overlie the plate andto contact with the working face at the inner portion thereof and at its juncture with the plate, to render the said working face non-yieldable.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

NOEL S. COLE.
